Adventure Racing

The sport is for athletes, triathletes, adrenaline junkies, weekend warriors, outdoor lovers, healthy people, curious people, and more! Adventure races can be quite challenging and simply completing a race can oftentimes be considered a victory.

An adventure race typically involves three or more disciplines which may include trail running and trekking, mountain biking, paddling, orienteering and navigation, secret challenges, and rope events such as rappels, tyrolean traverses, ascending, slack lines, and zip lines. Teams as well as solo athletes compete in the open wilderness - sometimes in an urban setting - relying on teammates and what can be carried on one's own back. Problem solving skills are exercised with a group of friends while being challenged both mentally and physically.

Adventure Races can be extreme or they can be easier but fun. While Adventure Races are challenging, our sporting events are open to both elite teams and single athletes as well as casual adventurers, families, and weekend warriors. Our purpose is to help provide both fun and challenging activities in the Colorado Rockies primarily in the front range! While we focus on quality and depth of your experience, our goal is to keep costs low in order to keep the events accessible to everyone.

So grab some friends, start brushing up on your mapping and biking, and we'll see you at our next Big Mountain Adventure!!
